Since then the Childcares societies locations have expanded to include a separate childcare facility within the UniverCity, as demand at the Burnaby contuies to increase, additional spaces are required. A functional program was defined and a design concept developed into a concept report dated January 2023. This design concept contemplates construction of a new building adjacent to the existing facility, which will remain operational throughout construction.

- tender the Project scope;
and when tendering is substantially completed, if so elected by the University, deliver the Project in the form of a Stipulated Price Construction Contract.
